Andas in. Andas ute.
Mixed-media installation, various dimensions, 2020
The installation Andas in. Andas ute. (Swedish for 'Breathe in. Breathe outside.') consists of ceramic pieces, sound and text and explores how materiality, writing and a body’s movements inwards and outwards unite. The setting of the work is linked to the natural landscape of Bollebygd in West Sweden–a site that has become a vital source of connection for the artist in the last period. The installation is intended to be experienced by one person at a time. The Artist Book Andas in. Andas ute. is the central element of the homonymous installation.
